[MALAYSIA] 82MAJOR Charms Malaysian Fans at Their ‘X-82’ Fanmeeting

South Korean rising boy group 82MAJOR made their visit to Malaysia for the very first time as part of their <X-82> Asia Fanmeeting! As part of the promotion for their latest mini album with the same name, the tour made its stop in Bangkok before coming to Kuala Lumpur. The fan meeting was held on February 16, 2025 at SEGi University’s Multipurpose Hall, followed by a public Press Conference held at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur on the same day.

For the uninitiated, 82MAJOR is a six-member boy group consisting of Nam Seongmo, Park Seokjoon, Yoon Yechan, Cho Seongil, Hwang Seongbin, and Kim Dogyun. They made their debut in October 2023 with the single album, [ON] featuring tracks First Class and Sure Thing.

The group kicked off the fanmeeting as they performed Choke from their first mini album BEAT by 82, their debut track First Class, and Birthday, also from their first mini album. The audience was then able to get to know the members’ better with the first segment, where they answered questions related to 82MAJOR and shared fun facts about each other. They revealed that Seokjoon struggles on waking up, Seongbin forgets choreography the most, and Yechan’s airport fashion was a standout for the members, and Dogyun, who used to be quiet, has recently become more humorous.

82MAJOR continued to showcase their versatile discography as they performed the sexy track Illegal, hip-hop track Thorns, and earworm track Sure Thing. They then continued to the next segment, where the group read messages from fans that they prepared prior to the fanmeeting. One fan requested the members to show off their newly learned Malay phrases, prompting them to say “Sayang, saya sayang kamu semua!” (My love, I love you all)! The highlight of the segment was when Yechan mistakenly said “Saya sedap” (I am sexy) instead of “Sangat sedap” (very delicious), which entertained the audience!

Their interaction with the fans continues as they select lucky fans through ballot to join them on stage for a photo time, making others envious of the special moment! They were also touched by the fans’ coordinated effort to wear pink outfits, creating a visually stunning “pink ocean”. 82MAJOR ends the fanmeeting with Stuck, their title track from their latest mini album, X-82.

The fun didn’t stop there as 82MAJOR held a public Press Conference at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur a few hours after the fanmeeting. As expected, the venue was packed with fans who won’t miss the chance to see the group up close.

The press conference started with a Q&A session with the members. Talking about their immediate impression after the fanmeeting, Seongil & Seokjoon appreciated the fans’ enthusiastic support during the fanmeeting, while Yechan was pleasantly surprised by the fans’ coordinated pink outfits that were worn during the fanmeeting.

When asked about places of interest that the members might want to visit before going back to Korea, Seongmo mentioned that he would like to visit Batu Caves to see the monkeys, and since all of the members were born in the Year of The Monkey, it would be great for all of them to go there together.

Seongil mentioned that they are currently preparing for the release of their third album and hoped the fans would look forward to it. As the topic moves to future goals, Yechan said that his personal goal for 2025 was to have an 82MAJOR world tour, and hoped that they could visit Malaysia as one of the stops, which got the fans cheering hard. Meanwhile, Seongil would like for the group to get first place in music shows.

We had so much fun with 82MAJOR throughout the fanmeeting as well as the press conference, and we look forward to see them here in Malaysia again soon!
